Assembly and set up The ADE wheelchair-scale is already been delivered in a fully assembled condition. Remove the packaging and place the scale on a firm and plane surface. Please place your scale free of any vibration and at a dry place. Alignment of the scale 1) Place the wheelchair on a plain, dry and level surface before weighing. 3) The air bubble in the spirit level should be right in the centre of the circle. 4) Please ensure that the scale has no other contact to the floor than by the four feet underneath the platform. Power supply Power is supplied either by the rechargeable battery in the display unit or by the mains power via the supplied power unit. The rechargeable battery pack is consisting of 4xAA NIMH rechargeable batteries. Use the AC adapter to load the rechargeable batteries. The imprinted voltage value at the mains adapter must match the local mains voltage. When the battery is being charged for the first time a sufficient charging period of approx. 24 hours is necessary to achieve a full battery load. The wall socket must be located near to the unit and be easily accessible. Please use only the mains adapter supplied by ADE. The mains adapter is charging the battery pack at the same time. Replacing the rechargeable battery The battery compartment is located at the back of the display
1) Open the battery compartment. 2) Remove the battery cables carefully from the housing, connect the wires and insert the battery into the housing. 3) Close the battery compartment again.
Only use original rechargeable batteries and charger units from ADE. The warranty does not cover any damage caused by using other types of batteries or charger units.

Evaluation of the Body Mass Index Compare the determined value which corresponds to those being used by the WHO. BMI below 18,5
The patient is under the regular standard and does not got enough weight. An increase of weight is recommended. Please consult a professional.
BMI between 18,5 and 24,9
The patient got a normal weight. If he feels well there is no need for a change.
BMI between 25 and 30
The patient is slightly overweighed to pre-obese. A reduction of weight is indicated or, is necessary if the state of health is already affected (e.g. diabetes, high end blood pressure, heart diseases).
BMI over 30
Reduction of weight is imperative. To visit a doctor is highly recommended.
